War (The New Edition)

In this revised and updated edition of his classic book, Gwynne Dyer confronts the brutal truth about war, from our prehistoric past to the terrorism-haunted present. With neither despair nor false optimism, Dyer draws on his expert knowledge of military history to look squarely at a phenomenon that could kill us all or might - perhaps - one day become a memory. Brilliant, lucid and powerful, War: The New Edition is essential reading.
